Patent GB-190319210-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means of Mounting or Fitting a Gear Case in Place Around Driving Gear which Directly Connects Between Two Axes of a Motor Car or other Vehicle Mounted on Springs, One of which Axes is that of a Driving Road Wheel.
Filed: 1903-09-07
Granted: 1904-07-07
Abstract: 19,210. Marston, Ltd., J., and Pullinger, T. C. Sept. 7. Motor road vehicles.-A gear case protecting the chain gearing between the driving-shaft and driving- axle, is so constructed and mounted as to adjust itself to the constantly varying relative positions of the two axes. Fig. 4 shows a section on the line y-y in Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 a section through the axle E of the driving-wheels. The driving-wheel B<1>, having the sprocket-wheel B fixed to it, rotates on the fixed axle E, the end of which is bent slightly downwards, so that the plane of the sprocket-wheel inclines outwards. The gear case is divided into upper and lower parts, the portion surrounding the sprocket-wheel B, having circular openings in each side, which are concentric with the axis, when the case is in place. The edge c of the inner opening is a turning fit around a circular plate D secured to the fixed axle E, and is held lightly between the plate D, leather washer e, and ring f, by screws a passing through slots h in the gear case, which may thus rotate slightly relatively to the plate D. The edge of the outer opening in the gear case is fitted into a U-section continuous ring k, which enters a groove formed between a ring n and a flange m rotating with the sprocket-wheel. At the other end of the gear case, Figs. 2 and 4, a plate H is secured to the fixed flange s by screws t passing through slots in the plate, in order that it may rotate slightly relatively to the flange s. The inner side of the gear case is secured to the plate H by bolts r, which are screwed into lugs and fixed by lock-nuts. These bolts pass through eyepieces m<1>, which are fixed in slots in the plate H, and may be adjusted in position in the slots when taking up the slack of the chain. Springs q<1>, surrounding the bolts r, allow slight sideway and tilting movements of the gear case relatively to the plate H.

Title: Improvements in Process for Obtaining the Assimilable Phospho-organic Matter Contained in Vegetable Food Stuffs
Inventor: POSTERNAK SWIGEL
Filed: 1903-11-13
Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 24,692. Posternak, S. Nov. 13. Food preparations.-In the process described in Specification No. 18,910, A.D. 1902, for the extraction of assimilable phospbo-organic matter from vegetable food-stuffs, such as oleaginous seeds, strong organic acids, e.g., citric and oxalic acid, are substituted for the mineral acids therein employed. Extracts or cakes of oleaginous seeds are acted on by an organic acid or neutral salt, the liquid boiled, oxidized by permanganate of potash or chlorine, or by electrolytic methods, and the precipitated impurities removed by filtration. The product obtained, as described in Specification No. 18,910, A.D. 1902, is freed from the alkaline earthy metals which it contains by extracting with alcohol and ether and treating the extract with alkali ; or by treating directly with an alkali or alkaline carbonate and -subjecting the salt thus formed to double decomposition or precipitation by a saltof a heavy metal or metallic hydroxide, filtering, precipitating the metal by hydrogen sulphide, and again filtering. The filtrate containing the phospho-organic acid is evaporated, or bases are added to form salts with the acid. The product is also obtained from the extracts containing it by means of the hydroxides and salts of metals other than the alkaline metals, washing the precipitate, dissolving it in an acid, and decomposing the solution by an acid ; or by precipitating the metals and filtering, the filtrate then containing the organic product free, or as a salt.

Granted: 1905-03-16
Abstract: 11,469. Hodson, J. May 18. Camp furniture, chairs; bedsteads; mattresses; wardrobes.-Relates to camp furniture, such as the bed described in Specification No. 11,289, A.D. 1900. and other articles, such as folding chairs and wardrobes. A bracket or hinge-piece for use in connecting, in such articles of furniture, four converging and pivoted members or rods lying approximately in the same plane, comprises a plate a formed in one piece with two inclined, inverted, U-shaped pieces b, c which receive the ends of the rods or members g. Two bolts f pass through holes e in the hinge-piece and the rods g to form an X, the rabbet t allowing the rods to turn freely ; or the rabbeted parts could be roofed over, allowing sufficient room for turning. The U-pieces on the same side of the centre plate might be in a straight line if inclined to the corresponding pieces on the other side. The bolts f are slightly bent to cause the outer ends of the members g to lie in the same plane. To make the bed described in the Specification referred to above fold into still smaller space, the legs are placed somewhat underneath the bed, and extension pieces k of the rods l are made to fit into sockets m on the rods l and ara prevented from sliding down the sockets by the pins p projecting from the legs h and passing through the holes n in the sockets. The heads q keep the rods l in position. The socket may be on the extension piece; or it may be on the rod l, and the extension piece k be of small enough diameter to enter into it, the pin then passing through all three parts. The extension pieces k are preferably hinged to the cross-piece to which the mattress is secured. The Provisional Specification describes also an end frame in which each of the cross-stays is hinged to the foot of one upright of the bed and hooks over a projection near the top of the other upright, the two stays being hinged together.

Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 6533. Thirsk, G. H. March 28. Chimneys.-A tapering angular chimney or stack is constructed of two types of brick, one type consisting of large and small rectangular bricks a, a', Figs. 9 and 10, for the faces, and the other consisting of outer and inner angular corner bricks b, b<1>, Figs. 5 and 7, made in series of gradually decreasing size. The square base of the chimney may be built of stone, concrete, or common bricks, or the rectangular bricks a, a<1>. The batter A', A<2> may be formed in the usual manner, but in Fig. 1 it is shown as constructed of the angular and rectangular bricks until its shape is octangular, when the largest angular brick 1 is used at the corners. To produce the taper, three courses of each size 2, 3, 4, &c. of angular bricks b, b<1> are used in succession, until the smallest size 21 is reached, when the largest brick 1 is again used, but with one less rectangular brick in each face. The faces b<6>, b<7> of the angular brick b, Fig. 5, and the faces b<12>, b<13> of the brick b<1>, Fig. 7, are perpendicular to the outer and inner surfaces b<2>, b<4>, &c., thus permitting the formation of a true "plumb bond" in the structure. Where the thickness of the walls varies, one or more large rectangular bricks may be used with one or more outer angular bricks, as shown in Fig. 2 ; or they may be used in conjunction with the smaller rectangular and inner angular bricks, as shown in Fig. 3. The bricks may be recessed, as shown in Figs. 5, 7, 9, and 10, or they may be perforated, as shown in Fig. 18.

A coin bucket A is formed of a pair of disks A<1>, mounted on a shaft C and provided with distance-pieces a adapted to receive a coin. One or both disks are provided with two sets of ratchet teeth a', joined by plane portions a<2> and normally engaged by a stop g on a spring-controlled double lever G. On the insertion of a coin B, guided by the shoot I into the position shown in Fig. 3, and on a backward rotation by means of the handle F or by springs, as far as permitted by the pawl H, the coin falls to the position shown in Fig. 4. Forward pressure then lifts the lever G, allowing rotation through half a revolution, the coin falling out of the bucket A into the money till. A number of coin buckets, pawls, and shoots may be arranged together. Delivery mechanism.-In the case of post cards, note-paper, and the like, these are arranged in a vertical container K, alternate articles being at right-angles. The container, which has no bottom, is rotated between rollers m through quarterrevolutions at a time by being geared by toothed wheels L, M to the shaft C. The articles are delivered through a slightly larger opening J in the base-plate E, upwardly - turned projections preventing jamming or displacement.
